Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome treatment for mother of 3

Hi, my name is Karla and I am fundraising to have treatment for Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS!) in Italy. I have exhausted all treatment options in Australia, and this treatment is only available in Italy. CRPS1 is an extremely painful condition that effects my left arm and has recently travelled to both legs, after an injury. I have had this crippling condition for 11 long years and sit at a pain range of 9/10 daily.

Treatment aims to restore movement and function of the effected limbs and reduce pain to around a 0 - 3/10 pain range.

I am a wife, mother of 3 boys and I just want my life back. It has been the longest and most depressing 11 years of my life, and it is absolutely crippling. I have lost my will due to unbearable pain and high doses of opioid medications. I want to give my husband and children their wife and mother back I want to live a life without pain and medication. The medication is extremely fatigue inducing and causes me to sleep for long periods of the day. I am unable to look after myself and my family as need be and hate living like this.

Pain is my whole life at the moment and with treatment, I will hopefully be able to live a normal and pain free life.

I am currently unable to work due to pain and medication induced fatigue, so we rely on one income from my Husband who works 7 days in his own business to support our family of 5.

We appreciate your generosity during this tough time
